I agree with the Bigfoot stoppage. He showed nothing but cover-up after getting dropped. He would have just sat there and took more damage. Taking shots repeatedly like that, even when somewhat blocked, is how you get brain damage. No need to rattle the brain any more than those 10 or however many shots it was.

I think it would be tough to deny Overeem the next title shot.Nobody else has a resume close to Overeem's last 4 fights in less than 1.5 years.

4-0 against Struve, Nelson, JDS, and Arlovski. None of these fights were remotely close.

JDS? Lost to Overeem over that stretch.Rothwell? Can't give him a title shot coming off a loss.Browne? Even if he beats Velasquez, still has a recent loss to Arlovski (and already blew his shot at Werdum)Velasquez? If he beats Browne, he probably has the next best case. Though he just lost his last fight to Werdum. If I am breaking ties, I give it to a guy that hasn't fought the champ yet.

Exactly.Let's not give Werdum the win over Stipe just yet. We all remember JDS's homerun shot that flattened Werdum. Stipe has a pretty good longball himself as evidenced by his 3 first-round UFC KO victories in less than a minute each.
